German football is like English football. The Germans and the English do not play like a Brazilian side. They have to improve, bring up their young players, who have character.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.
English football is in a bad way because the foreign players here are so good, so dominant.
English football is really different to football in other countries.
You see how Spanish, Italians, Portuguese play football. I don't say they are perfect, I say English football has a few things to learn from them in the same way they have a lot of things to learn from English football.
The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.
The thing that I like about Germany is that Germans are so much like us. It's not like going to some other countries, where the differences are overwhelming and you walk around in a fog. Germans are so similar to Americans.
As with Cesc Fabregas, some players who go and play for foreign clubs improve on a cultural level. It makes them grow on many levels; intellectually, because you have to learn a new language and adapt to another culture, and on a footballing level too.
I have a feeling we are going to be world champions, I can't really explain why. Brazil are probably the best team in the world in terms of individual players. But the team with the most gifted players do not always win.
And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.
Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.
